Snow....Bridget....and more

We got a little bit of snow at our house the other day and so we decided to see what Daphne thought of it. We were shocked first of all that she kept her mittens on. She seemed to like it. I am sure there will be more opportunities this winter to explore the snow.

Helping us take the ornaments out to decorate the tree.

Daphne has been pretty good about not touching the tree after being told no a few times. However she did pick up this present and then shake her head no the whole time she held it like she knew she wasn't supposed to have it.

We got a new couch a couple of weeks ago and Elton hates it! It is higher than our old couch and he doesn't like the texture of it. He will usually only lay on a blanket on it. The other night we came home and since there wasn't a blanket on the couch for him to lay on he resorted to this pillow. He is trying to get his whole body on the pillow so he doesn't have to touch the couch. Such a silly dog we have :)

Daphne got this little baby for her birthday and has been carrying it around ever since. It is the perfect size and she likes to occasionally chew on her hands and feet. It is really cute how she crawls around with her. Nick asked her what her babies name is and she mumbled something that he thought sounded like Bridget so her name has offically become Bridget. If you ask her where Bridget is she will look for her.

Birthday Girl!

On Thanksgiving day Daphne will be ONE! It is so hard to believe that she will be one already. This last weekend we had a party for her at the Salem Riverfront Carousel. It was a wonderful day to get to spend time with some great friends and family. I don't have a whole lot of pictures from her party but hopefully will get some from some of the other people who took them. But here are what I have. She wasn't quite sure what to think of the carousel.

Eating her cupcake....actually she wouldn't eat any of it but she destroyed it and then chewed on the wrapper. Still fun to watch.

Waiting to get on.

Keeping herself busy!

Daphne has been quite the little busy body lately. Exploring and getting into things. She is not walking yet but she gets around just fine crawling, pulling herself up and walking along furniture. She has been really interested in Elton lately and thankfully Elton has been really good with her as she pats his face and she even crawled over his back one day. However, Nick stopped her right before she bit his ear....I don't think he would have taken to kindly to a nibble on his ear.

Our little bugs

Elton wasn't real cooperative for pictures...he just wanted to sit in the chair but I got a few anyways. Our little lady bug was such a trooper. She wore her costume all day long even when we went to Costco. We took her trick or treating to a couple houses and was excited to see someone open the door a little too young to get excited about candy though.

Nick carved the pumpkin on the right and I carved the one on the left.
